It’s up to the cooks to prepare dishes that will bake or roast properly during the time period that the oven becomes available. The connection to the original Easy Bake Oven, meanwhile, is pretty tenuous-once in each competition, the competitors are instructed to use a “full size” oven, but the heat can only be operated during a set time frame. Rather, the focus of Easy Bake Battle becomes the idea of “easy”-contestants are average home cooks, and are meant to show off their various “kitchen hacks,” etc., to make easy but delicious meals. When you hear that Netflix whipped up a cooking competition show in tribute to the iconic Easy Bake Oven, one must surely assume that the point of the show will involve cooking in actual Easy Bake Ovens, but sadly we’re nowhere near as lucky with this oddity.
Fair warning, though, as almost all of these shows are dangerous to watch while hungry.Īnd as an added bonus, Netflix’s Iron Chef reboot has finally arrived as well! These Netflix food shows truly run the gamut, from chintzy, broadcast-style reality cooking competitions like Easy Bake Battle, to gorgeously shot documentaries like Chef’s Table or sobering docu-series like High on the Hog. In recent years, the streamer has ditched reruns of old Food Network series and increasingly turning to original competition series and documentaries instead. And it’s just one of dozens of these types of Netflix food shows. If anything, this type of show feels like the reason why streaming services exist in the first place. The streaming world proved to be an almost infinite avenue for this kind of programming, especially as it became more niche-could you really get multiple seasons of a show that is nothing more than profiles of different types of tacos onto broadcast TV? On Netflix, though, that type of show-it’s literally called Taco Chronicles-feels right at home. As food culture and foodie-ism blossomed in the U.S., an influx of every possible type of food programming came with it. Good food is a universal human comfort, and TV about good food is nearly as popular.
